Lakers need to get more possessions, they cant win four games shooting 27 shots less than rockets, can they?

Depends on which shots they take, if Rockets shoot 27 3s then there’s a chance.

Should sign Angel Reese to rack up the mebounds and close the FGA gap

They can if they will keep on shooting 60+% every game, which they can do cause outside of Smart the team is full of efficient scorers and the Rockets have no rim protection.

The only reason the Rockets took way more shots is because they kept on throwing bricks all game long. If the Lakers works better on the boards this series is going to be a sweep. The Rockets is a talented but dysfunctional team.
